Capítulo 5: Never Thought of Developing a Relationship with a Woman
Editor: Atlas Studios
Lin Xi looked at Song Liangjiang and subconsciously took a step back. "What are you doing? This is the Chu family, not a place for you to be impudent."
"Miss Lin, you've misunderstood. I just want to ask why you would like a married man like Chu Jingmo," Song Liangjiang said with a smile. "Could it be that married men are more attractive?"
Song Liangjiang had mentioned "married man" twice in a row, and she had almost confirmed Lin Xi's identity as a third party.
As expected, Lin Xi's face turned red. "You were the one who took the money and left. Brother Jingmo has nothing to do with you anymore. What if he finds out that you took the money?"
Lin Xi threatened her bravely. It was obvious that this woman had lied to Chu Jingmo.
Song Liangjiang clicked her tongue. Chu Jingmo really knew about this, but he didn't do anything to her. If he found out about something else instead, her life would be in danger.
"Could it be that you like Chu Jingmo because of his looks?" Song Liangjiang asked.
"Of course not! Do you think everyone is as superficial as you?" Lin Xi immediately denied it. "I heard that you're a construction worker?" Lin Xi said as she sized up Song Liangjiang in disdain. How could a construction site be clean?
Construction worker?
Song Liangjiang was very surprised by her new job. She was the student of a famous architect, and she was the treasure in the eyes of countless big shots in the industry. Yet, she had actually become a construction worker.
But thinking about how she had been at the construction site all year long, it didn't seem wrong. Wasn't she just a worker?
"Miss Lin, I think I have something to tell you." Song Liangjiang approached Lin Xi, but Lin Xi took a step back in disdain. She didn't mind. "Actually, Jingmo likes men."
"What did you say?!" Lin Xi exclaimed.
"I'm telling the truth. Why don't you think about it? If Jingmo is so rich, why don't I just pester him? Why would I accept the five million yuan from his mother? The five million yuan is a one-time offer, but Jingmo's money is endless, right?" Song Liangjiang looked like she was trying her best to advise Lin Xi.
"Then he—then he just—"
"We're lying to you. Even I'm just a cover for him to cheat his mother. Didn't you say five million? He already knew about the five million and offered me 30 million to continue acting with him. Otherwise, why would I come here? We're all women, so I don't want you to be cheated as well." As Song Liangjiang spoke, she even pretended to take out the contract from her pocket. She deliberately showed Lin Xi the part about the divorce and the 30 million. There was also Chu Jingmo's signature below.
Lin Xi was shocked. Her face turned pale. This was impossible. How was this possible?
Lin Xi was flustered and left hurriedly. When she left, her footsteps were weak.
Song Liangjiang watched her leave and clicked her tongue. "That's it?"
She had no determination at all. No matter what, she should at least try to snatch him away from other men. She couldn't give up just because he liked men.
In the study upstairs, Madam Chu kept staring at her son.
"Although your grandmother wrote in her will that she would hand over the Chu Corporation to you, your uncles and cousins are still eying you covetously. Song Liangjiang was someone your grandmother took a fancy to back then. How can she help you?"
Chu Jingmo leaned against the bookshelf and listened to his mother's nagging. He had known from the first day he returned, that internal management of the Chu Corporation was getting restless.
"Then why did Grandma insist on her?"
"Your grandmother was senile. I don't know what she was thinking. If she was willing to take the money and leave, why did you bring her back?"
"Back then, outsiders didn't know about the Chu family's crisis, but you knew very well. It was Grandma who stopped our family from collapsing. How could she be senile?" Chu Jingmo reminded his mother. That was the strangest thing.
"Your grandmother didn't insist on her. Otherwise, why didn't she leave anything for her before she died? She didn't even see your grandmother one last time." Madam Chu wasn't too bothered. If that girl really cared, she wouldn't have left with five million yuan so easily.
Chu Jingmo spun the phone in his hand and suddenly laughed.
"I'm talking to you. What are you laughing at?" Madam Chu looked at her son's sudden smile and became even more upset. "The Lin and the Chu family are of equal status. Marrying Lin Xi will do you no harm."
"Mom, do you think I need to rely on a woman to gain a foothold in the Chu Corporation?" Chu Jingmo stood up and stowed his phone in his pocket. "I haven't thought about getting a divorce recently, nor have I thought about developing a relationship with a woman. As for the Chu Corporation, I know what to do."
Madam Chu was stunned as she watched her son strode away. What did he just say?
Never thought of developing a relationship with a woman?
Then with who? A man?
Madam Chu lost her balance and leaned back to hold on to the desk. Was her son crazy?
Chu Jingmo went downstairs. Song Liangjiang was about to leave. When she saw him, she jumped as if she had seen a ghost. She ran faster than a rabbit.
After running a distance, she even turned around and made a face at him. When he raised his hand, she instantly fled like a furious kitten.
Chu Jingmo looked at the hand that was raised. That little coward was quite scheming.
Song Liangjiang went directly to Happy Kindergarten to pick up her boys.
Little Rice Bun pounced on Song Liangjiang when she saw her. Little Rice Ball trailed slowly behind as he helped his brother to carry his small bag.
"Mommy, why are you back so soon?" Little Rice Bun hugged Song Liangjiang's neck and kissed her face affectionately.
"Mommy." Little Rice Ball walked over and called out with a stoic face.
Song Liangjiang squatted down and hugged Little Rice Ball. Then, she pinched his little tummy as usual. "Come, give Mommy a smile."
Little Rice Ball gave his mom a fake smile. Song Liangjiang pinched the corner of his mouth in disdain. Little Rice Ball allowed his mommy to hug him without any resistance.
Song Liangjiang couldn't help but pinch her son twice again. If he dared to bully her, she would bully his son back.
"Let's go home," Song Liangjiang said as she held their hands and got up.
Little Rice Ball was led away by his mother. He turned back to look at the man who was still on the big screen. He knew that the man's name was Chu Jingmo. He had married his mother three years ago and then he had disappeared. He had just returned to City A not long ago.
An irresponsible scumbag!
"Little Rice Ball, what are you looking at?" Song Liangjiang couldn't help but look at her son.
"Wow, Mommy, I know that handsome uncle! Grandma said that handsome uncle is especially rich." Little Rice Bun immediately shared what he knew with his mother.
Song Liangjiang was speechless.
She pulled Little Rice Ball over. "Those handsome men are all liars. Remember to run as fast as you can when you meet such people in the future, okay?"
As Song Liangjiang spoke, her phone rang. She handed Little Rice Bun to Little Rice Ball and answered the call.
"Hello, Miss Song. I'm Li Chuan."
